Professional Fire Risk Assessments for Birmingham’s Commercial Buildings

Fire Risk Assessment Services – Birmingham & West Midlands

JCH Safety Ltd are Tier 2 Fire Risk Assessors on the National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR), providing competent, legally compliant fire risk assessments for organisations across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.

Fire risk assessments are a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. JCH Safety Ltd delivers clear, proportionate and defensible assessments that help Responsible Persons understand their duties, manage fire risk effectively, and demonstrate compliance to enforcing authorities.

Fire risk assessments are carried out for:

• Schools, academies, and education trusts
• Commercial offices and business premises
• Industrial facilities and warehouses
• Retail units, shopping parks, and high streets
• Pubs, hospitality venues, churches, and community buildings

Each fire risk assessment includes:

• Identification of fire hazards and people at risk
• Review of means of escape, fire detection and alarm systems, emergency lighting, and fire protection measures
• Assessment of fire safety management arrangements
• A prioritised action plan with professional commentary
• A professional judgement on the overall level of fire risk

All assessments are site-specific, non-destructive, and written in clear language suitable for day-to-day management and Fire Authority inspection.

Experience You Can Rely On

JCH Safety Ltd have been carrying out safety services across Birmingham and the West Midlands since 2014.

We always ensure that our fire risk assessments are:

• Practical and proportionate
• Informed by how buildings are actually used supported by competent experience
• Written with enforcement expectations in mind

Whether supporting a Responsible Person in a school or a commercial or industrial setting, the approach remains consistent: life safety first, clear compliance, no unnecessary complexity.

Competence Beyond the Assessment

JCH Safety Ltd also provides competent Chartered level health & safety consultancy to organisations that require broader compliance support.

Health & safety services are provided separately and proportionately, ensuring fire risk assessments remain focused, independent, and defensible.
